Things Get Serious.

I am officially in business. Not that I wasn't in business before, but I have officially taken the plunge and created a business entity for the work that I love.

Prior to this, I had experimented with some work here and there. Some independent. Some via gig sites. Up until now, I operated as just me, an independent contractor.

Last week I officially registered my business with both the state and the IRS. I formed an LLC and I got an EIN. I'm on my way for real!

Those who know me, know that I have wanted this for some time. I got a little motivation, and off I went. Headlong into business.

In all of my research, that seems to be the "magic" that I thought I was missing. I'll let you in on a secret. There's no special magic. What separates people with businesses from those without is a Can Do Attitude. Just Do It! as Nike says. Stop talking, wishing and wondering and take a plunge. If you have something you've always wanted to do, do it. What do you really have to lose? Start small if you're risk averse.

I know one thing. If you don't do it, you'll never know if it would have worked.
